Projectdetails

Introduction

Morphing tubular structures are extensively used in interventional medical devices (e.g., stents). Current solutions lack adaptability to complex geometries and to patient-specific needs.

Proposal

Stripe-oMorph proposes the use of devices with superior morphing capabilities, bio-inspired by motile microorganisms. These microorganisms were previously investigated in the ERC AdG MicroMotility.

Concept

The proposed devices are based on the concept of morphing-by-sliding of parallel strips.
